Artist's Description
Saint-Malo became notorious as the home of the corsairs, French privateers and sometimes pirates. In the 19th century, this "piratical" notoriety was portrayed in Jean Richepin's play Le flibustier and in César Cui's eponymous opera.

In 1758, the Raid on St Malo saw a British expedition land intending to capture the town.
